As working, first time parents, we were nervous putting our 4-5 month old daughter into the hands of a childminder. However, the moment we saw Maggie, our daughter took to her instantly! We were impressed by the cleanliness of her place, her high energy, and dedication into giving these young stars a nurturing and loving environment. As teachers we were also delighted to see her following the EYFS curriculum. She plans activities and day trips that are super engaging and fun. Our daughter has come along way in terms of her fine motor skills. Our daughter is now 19+ months and no doubt because of the array of activities, her speech and acquisition of vocabulary has come a long way.
She offers advice and works with parents in terms of what will make our children thrive. During a busy workday it's a delight seeing a burst of photographs of what our little one is doing at Maggie's! Our daughter always looks happy showing just much she is enjoying herself. Also from the photos, we can see that Maggie capitalises on social interaction and teaches our children the importance of sharing and empathy.
Maggie is an excellent childminder and any child would be lucky to have her in their lives!

Our daughter started in Aug 2022 when she was 12 month old. It just felt right when we visited Maggie’s place. She worked based on our preferences and confidence levels, from onboarding our daughter to sleeping patterns and from baby led weaning and ditching the dummy to potty training. Our daughter had an injury whilst we were on holidays and Maggie was able to support her recovery plan completely, keeping us informed at every stage.
Our daughter looks forward to joining Maggie every morning and she is disappointed when she doesn’t get to go! She loves the thematic months ranging from books to seasons and holidays. Maggie always arranges adventures outdoors, visiting parks, the zoo, play dates and even theatre! Our daughter is bilingual and her speech is great for her age in both languages when we don’t speak any English to her at home. Maggie keeps us updated with regular photos throughout the week through WhatsApp and she is always contactable. We really feel that Maggie is part of our family!

Where to begin...
Maggie from day one has been fantastic towards our daughter Sofia! Settling in was not a rush or pushy she took it as what Sofia needed not what 'majority' follow. She reassured us on WhatsApp with regular photos and messages with her progress and still almost 2 years later she is still doing the same for us :) She plans FANTASTIC days out which really make Sofia happy and always always has something fun planned weather its arts and crafts, playing with the enormous amounts of toys she has, musical instruments it's never a boring day with Maggie and her minded children if the photos and updates weren't enough Sofia has never once come home crying or upset about her day with Maggie! She's filled with love routine manners entertainment and an all round safe environment for the days she is with her! Maggie plans themes which she does with the kids and has introduced Sofia to so many new things, books, skills and language than we could ever provide for Sofia with her just being at home, she has learnt to socialise with other kids and she had a massive problem with sharing it was something that was no negotiable for her but Maggie helped her through all of that and she shares everything now even with other kids she doesn't know in the park! Truly amazing what Maggie has done for her and I don't say thank you enough to her because she absolutely deserves it! Potty training as well Maggie advised us loads on tips and tricks and followed Sofias lead and it didn't take long at all when she finally got the hang of it they practise pulling up trousers too and wiping properly. She makes great meals for the kids and her snacks are all healthy snacks. She's very open and kind and you can talk to her about just anything - you can tell she loves her job by the sheer amount that goes into her day to day all the planning and prepping. She always has time for parents at drop off and pick up and does respond to messages after hours and weekends if you ever need anything from her! Sofia loves her to pieces and really feels at home with her to the point she doesn't even look back when I drop her off in the mornings - if you are looking for a childminder then don't look any further because Maggie is your woman! I could write so much more about her because she's amazing so just message her if you are looking and you won't ever look back! Xxx

From the moment we entrusted our precious Alex to Maggie, we knew she would be the perfect choice. Even though we had our difficulties and our schedule didn’t match Maggie’s requirements, fate eventually made it happen. Maggie was kind enough to keep in touch with me and after a series of problems with another childminder, she made some arrangements and took Alex on board. Since Alex was 9 months old, Maggie has provided nothing short of exceptional care. Every day, we see Alex's smiling face and energy.
Maggie's exceptional organizational skills shine through as she meticulously plans activities weeks ahead, ensuring a varied and enriching experience for the children. Her understanding and accommodating nature make her an invaluable asset, especially for families with full-time commitments. Maggie's flexibility is a lifesaver, effortlessly adapting to our ever-changing schedules. She consistently goes the extra mile, demonstrating her unwavering dedication to our family's well-being, for which we are immensely grateful.
Moreover, Maggie's proactive approach extends to the digital realm, where her WhatsApp group serves as a delightful window into the day-to-day adventures of our little ones. Her regular updates and shared photos bring joy and reassurance, allowing us to stay connected and involved in our child's journey.
In essence, Maggie's remarkable organization, dedication, and thoughtful communication ensure that every day with her is filled with stimulating activities and meaningful learning experiences for our child.
We are endlessly grateful for the love, dedication, and professionalism shown by Maggie and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Our daughter started with Maggie in Jan ‘22 when she was 18 months old and took to Maggie immediately, like kindred spirits! She literally ran in and closed the door on me, I was definitely more upset than she was. I’ll never forget the first day she came home, new words, excited, full of energy.
Maggie is organised and plans activities weeks in advance, she is very understanding, accommodating and was super mindful and caring for my daughters eczema which was quite bad when she was younger. I always look forward to the photos and updates Maggie sends during the day.
Maggie has been nothing short of amazing, she has been there for our family and is such a positive role model to our daughter. We are so thankful to have her! We can’t recommend Maggie highly enough and cant wait for my younger daughter to start with her next year!
